The error didn’t prevent my photo RDFization, but I was bothered that there was the error in the first place.

I had the java version “1.5.0_06” (of maybe August 2005?) and found out on ACD that there had been a release on 12jan2007 for 1.5.0_07. I upgraded, but I got the SIMBL error anyway when calling RDFPic.

I located SIMBL stuff on my machine, but was none the wiser. I googled SIMBL.

SIMBL (Smart InputManager Bundle Loader) – pronounced like “symbol” or “cymbal” allows you to build hacks for Cocoa applications and apply the code selectively based on an application’s unique identifier.

I have no idea how SIMBL got installed on the Precious in the first place. But I installed the universal binary. And when I call RDFPic, not only does it keep working but also I don’t get the error message anymore.

If you look in your console.log (Applications/Utiliites/Console.app), and search “simbl”, you’ll see that a lot of applications use it and that a lot of errors are written.
